I plan to mount in side skirting of mobile home to force vent the crawl space mostly to keep smoke out and moisture down... is this appropriate use ?

I installed in a basement window to keep air movement to lower moisture, works great. I also purchase a heavy duty timer to kick in from time to time
2204
no these are not sealed motors,the moisture in a crawl space would damage these units
2205
Don't see why it wouldn't work, but probably overkill unless there is lots of cubic feet under it?

I am using in hobby greenhouse with high humidity. Don't see why vent a crawl space would be a problem

I'd think under a mobile home would be ideal...it's protected from the weather and in the rodent's domain.

I would be hesitant to do that. Yes, mobile homes have studs, but they're about half the thickness and width of regular 2x4's.

First, verify with the manufacturer that this device is intended for kitchen range hood venting. As I recall, the flap depends on gravity (and perhaps magnetic seal) so mounting it upside down sounds problematic to me. I installed mine myself on a pitched roof as part of a fan forced bathroom vent system. It hasn't leaked that I know of.

I should really check the "I don't know" box, but a few considerations come to mind. (1) this is a powerful and reasonably noisy fan...ones built for the purpose of kitchen venting might be quieter. (2) you're dealing with a lot of grease and crud if you're over anything that produces smoke (such as an indoor bbq) and I doubt if this is built to handle that, (3) I should think that a hood arrangement built for the purpose might be just as cheap as a built-to-order stainless hood and duct work ( you would, of course, want stainless); (3) this is meant to evacuate an entire attic -- you could create quite a (detrimental) draft ducting it down to a single hood and/or overload the motor with restrictive duct work. But I don't see why it wouldn't work given the proper analysis and engineering. It is an exhaust fan, after all. If you're exhausting an entire (kitchen) room, I should think that the only things you need to worry about are the noise and potentially restrictive/overloading/damaging duct work.

I wouldn't recommend it unless the area around the crawl space can be well ventilated

The crawl space vent opening is pretty small, I guess the answer is if you are thin enough to fit now, you will, but my guess is a no! you will need a different way to get under your home so may be talk to some builders.

I use mine on a covered porch and haven't had any problems... but there is good air flow across the smoker. If there isn't good ventilation... I would expect problems. This is a smoker, it puts out a lot of smoke. Besides thick smoke being unpleasant to be in... when hot enough... and thick enough... smoke can become flammable. If it were me... I would still own one... I'd just figure out a way to vent the smoke.

You can use either a 4 or 6 inch vent pipe. I have an 8 x 9 room and the motion sensor covers the entire area. Mine works great and it was easy to install.

I'm not quite sure how you would mount this on a pipe? Are you talking about using a pipe as a vent?

No, it is not suitable for that application. You might want to try researching hydroponics ventilation to get an idea of what's out there. It is important for you to determine what kind of airflow you desire. Especially if it needs filtration for dust, smoke, or grease (cooking).

Yes, as long as there is proper ventilation for the smoke you'll be fine. The unit itself does not get hot on the outside, it's contained on the inside and I have used it numerous times in my garage even with the doors open when it has been raining. Shouldn't be a problem.

I can't imagine why it would be optimal for that. RadiantGUARD foil is meant to reflect heat away & does result in lower heat transfer to the living area below attic crawl space. But if you want to e.g. insulate tubes from heat, there must be better insulation choices.

I use mine on my back porch under the roof when it is raining and it works fine with no problems! I have found that if you close the top vent on the smoker it will still smoke the meat or fish or??? adequately with only a small stream of smoke coming out the top. Have never had a fire!

unit needs to be mounted on exterior as that large opening is the vent, draft is at the bottom

I suppose it could be. I used mine in a crawl space and put it in the vented windows/opening.

Mine is in my kitchen I can walk to bay or ocean so a fairly humid environment. It's dual mount I did it ceiling hugger. I don't think it's rated for exterior use.
